The departure of the Expeditionary Army was within Gu Shanhai's expectations, yet there were surely unexpected elements as well.
It was nothing other than the fact that Discipline Archbishop Lorent·Moon Flower Silver Wolf unexpectedly sensed the problem ahead of time and intended to flee, but not only did he fail to escape, he was discovered by Jade Tree·Green Sorrow, which then led to disaster for his entire family.
The Moon Flower Silver Wolf bloodline within him had already started to awaken slightly; even during the No-magic Era, it granted him some enhancement in intuition, and now with the arrival of the magic tide, his perception became increasingly acute, allowing him to detect the issues.
However, Jade Tree still needs to shoulder the blame; had they been more restrained, with Lorent's level of bloodline awakening, he surely wouldn't have detected anything—that was pure arrogance.
